Mimecast appoints Vishak Raman to lead regional expansion. On: November 4, 2026 Mimecast has appointed Vishak Raman as Senior Vice President of Sales, International. Raman will drive Mimecast's expansion across the Middle East, Africa, India and APAC, helping more organisations in these markets protect their people, data and work with the Mimecast platform. Raman joins from Fortinet, where he was most recently Vice President of Sales for Asia, leading a team of more than 800. Before that, he built Fortinet's India and South Asia business, including a technical assistance centre in Bangalore that grew to more than 200 engineers serving customers across India and the Middle East. He brings more than 25 years of cybersecurity experience, with earlier roles at Cisco, FireEye and Tata Communications, and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management from IIM Ahmedabad. Mimecast sees significant growth potential across these markets, particularly among small and medium-sized businesses and the mid-market. The company is pursuing that growth through a geo-expansion model, the same approach Raman has used to build regional businesses before. The Middle East is a key part of that plan. Mimecast's own research has also found that 69% of security leaders believe an AI-powered attack on their organisation is inevitable within 12 months, but only 40% say they are fully prepared. Raman's focus will be on bringing them unified, enterprise-grade protection through the Mimecast platform, delivered by a channel and distribution partner ecosystem with the depth to scale with them. "Mimecast already has the platform and the reputation. My focus is on making it easier for organisations of every size around the globe, including smaller businesses, to access the platform through local expertise and a strong partner ecosystem. AI is changing the threat landscape, making attacks faster and more convincing, and every market feels that differently. My job is to make sure customers in each one feel Mimecast is built for them," said Raman.

Fortinet to showcase the future of ai-powered cybersecurity at Cairo ICT and AIDC 2026. Fortinet, the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, has announced its participation in the 30th edition of Cairo ICT 2026, Egypt's premier technology event, taking place from 7-10 November 2026 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center. The participation comes as Fortinet marks two decades of supporting organizations across the country to strengthen their cybersecurity posture and enable secure digital transformation. Building on this milestone, Fortinet will also participate in the Artificial Intelligence & Data Center Exhibition (AIDC) 2026, reinforcing its commitment to helping organizations securely adopt and scale artificial intelligence. As AI continues to transform industries, organizations are rapidly integrating AI technologies into their operations, applications, and decision-making processes. While AI presents significant opportunities to drive efficiency, productivity, and business growth, it also introduces new risks and attack surfaces that must be secured. Fortinet helps organizations to navigate this evolving landscape by embedding AI across its Security Fabric and delivering comprehensive capabilities to secure AI environments while leveraging AI to enhance cyber defense. At Cairo ICT and AIDC 2026, under the theme "Securing the AI Journey," Fortinet will present a series of immersive experiences and technology showcases designed to demonstrate how security can enable innovation rather than hinder it. Visitors will have the opportunity to engage with Fortinet experts, explore innovative technologies through interactive demonstrations, and gain insights into strategies that help organizations strengthen cyber resilience. A highlight of this year's participation will be the introduction of the FortiVR Virtual Experience, providing visitors with an opportunity to explore Fortinet's cybersecurity portfolio and understand how integrated security solutions work together to protect modern organizations. At AIDC, Fortinet will also debut an AI Security Showcase. Through interactive demo pods visitors will explore how Fortinet is helping organizations securely navigate the AI era, from governing Shadow AI to how FortiAIGate can help organizations secure the use of generative and agentic AI while maintaining visibility, control, and protection. As industrial and operational environments become increasingly connected, Fortinet will also demonstrate its comprehensive OT and IoT Security capabilities. Attendees will learn how organizations can protect critical infrastructure, industrial control systems, and connected devices through centralized visibility, segmentation, threat prevention, and real-time monitoring. Fortinet will further showcase how its Unified SASE architecture and Secure Networking solutions enable secure access anywhere, while simplifying operations, improving performance, and delivering consistent protection from the campus to the cloud. "Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way organizations operate, innovate, and compete. As AI adoption accelerates, security must be embedded into every stage of the journey," said Khaled Fawzy, Senior Country Manager, Egypt, Libya, and Sudan. "Our participation at both Cairo ICT and AIDC 2026 reflects Fortinet's commitment to helping organizations embrace AI with confidence by providing the visibility, protection, and operational efficiency needed to secure today's increasingly complex digital environments. We are excited to engage with customers, partners, and industry leaders at these events and showcase how Fortinet is securing the AI journey."
